Veronica L. Schanoes

Fairy Tales, Myth, and Psychoanalytic Theory (eBook, PDF)

Feminism and Retelling the Tale

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Testing the relationship between feminist psychoanalytic theory and feminist retellings of fairy tales and myths in the 1970s and 1990s, Schanoes shows that these contemporaneous developments in theory and art advance complementary interpretations of the same themes. Her book posits a new model that emphasizes the interdependence of theory and art and challenges the notion that literary revision involves a masculinist struggle with the writer's artistic forbearers.

Rezensionen

'[Schanoes's] interrogation of fairy tale and myth as forms should prove useful to children's literature scholars working in fairy tale scholarship and adaptation theory, as well as in women's and gender studies. ... her investigations into revision and the relationship between feminism and fantasy certainly provide useful models for rethinking the ways works of literature and theory speak to and shape each other.' Children's Literature Association Quarterly 'Schanoe's book is engaging and beautifully free of jargon ... Her acknowledgement and use of context and history makes the psychoanalytic argument more persuasive. Schanoes' readings are detailed and well developed ... She offers a very useful model for researchers in field.' Gramarye 'Schanoes's writing is consistently, engaging direct, so that topics that may already be known to readers ... are reasserted in their importance and their pivotal place in cultural histories ... With its participation in both long-standing and renewed feminist projects, this book will be a stimulating addition to any reading list.' Year's Work in Critical and Cultural Theory 'Veronica Schanoes's work shines brightly for me - the product of insightful reflection, well-honed literary critical skills, a generous understanding of why imaginative literature matters, and remarkably incisive writing.'
